About the Team
You will be joining a dynamic, full-stack engineering team focused on building scalable, cloud-native applications that power key business functions. The team works primarily with Python, Angular, and AWS services to deliver secure, performant, and resilient solutions. The environment is highly collaborative, agile, and quality-driven. Engineers partner closely with product managers, architects, and cross-functional groups to translate business requirements into well-designed, customer-centric products. The team values continuous improvement, modern engineering practices, and a culture of mentorship, ownership, and innovation.
About the Position
As a Software Development Manager on the Clearpoint team, you will lead the engineers building a new product on top of Solifi’s risk-management data platform. Your team consists of Python backend engineers, Angular front-end engineers, and software quality automation engineers (SDETs), and you will be responsible for the team’s delivery, technical direction, and growth. You excel at communicating strategy and vision, inspiring your team to deliver impactful software, and making sound architectural decisions across a multi-disciplinary stack.
You bring strong technical depth across backend and front-end—comfortable engaging in design discussions across Python services, Angular applications, and the data platform they integrate with. You understand how to balance delivery speed with long-term maintainability, and you take pride in developing scalable, reliable, and secure systems that hold up in production.
You are a people-first leader who builds high-performing teams through mentorship, continuous feedback, and deliberate professional development. You create an environment where engineers thrive and grow, and you align team efforts with broader organizational goals. Your ability to navigate complexity, manage competing priorities, and maintain strong cross-functional relationships ensures that your team’s work directly contributes to the success of Solifi’s products and customers.
